Lyrics
We can gather all in space
We can collectively unite in a space.

We can articulate our thoughts visually.

We have the ability.
an paint them on the wall
We can express ourselves creatively on the wall.
make us feel the power
This creative expression empowers us.
I need something to complain
I seek something to complain about.
so I don't feel like I'm guilty
To avoid feeling guilty, I complain.
but the truth is that I blame
Ultimately, I blame myself for everything I am.

This blame extends to everything about me.
You're being amazed
You are impressed by my abilities.
by things I can do
You are amazed by what I can do.
'cause you don't think
Because you underestimate my strength.
I'm as strong as you
You don't perceive me as strong as you.
You
You, the person underestimating me.
underestimate me
You undervalue my capabilities.
by using your privilege
You do this by exercising your privilege.
when will you accept
When will you acknowledge that I am also human?
I’m a human too?
A plea to recognize shared humanity.
We can talk all about it
We can discuss it openly.
express what we are feeling
Express our emotions and thoughts.
and then make something
Transform the collective anger into something positive.
of all of the anger
Create something meaningful from our emotions.

An interruption or pause in belief.

Words that help us keep going
Expressions that provide strength and motivation.
Times that help us keep fighting
Challenging times that inspire us to keep fighting.
